We post a lot about our Comfort Dog Hodges and his partner Officer Fredricks. They are our full-time Community Outreach team, attending nearly every event in town it seems.

They focus on victim wellness, officer wellness and community outreach, but they are also tasked with domestic violence victim follow-ups after an arrest has been made and assisting families during death notifications. This assignment is not all smiles and positive events. We couldn't be more proud of the work they do and the the local Lions Club recently named the duo the Humanitarian of the Year for 2024!

Well, the team has put in for a grant and needs your assistance in voting for them. Voting starts this Saturday and if you know how much positive these two do for our region, we ask that you please take a minute to help them out and vote!

Good evening officer, I would like a steak, a loaded baked potato, a side salad and a get out of jail free card please.

Waterford police officers are returning to Longhorn Steakhouse for the annual Tip-A-Cop fundraiser to benefit the Connecticut Special Olympics.

Special Olympics Connecticut plans to award a plaque to Longhorns in Waterford due to the success we have had there raising money for this great cause.

This is coming up soon, so take a look at the menu, create another hole on your belt for when your done eating the food and feel awesome leaving after contributing to CT Special Olympics......oh.... and having Waterford police officers pretend to know how to be servers.

*************Calendars now $5!!************

So we still have way too many calendars for 2024. We were hoping they would go fast and we would be able to use proceeds to support our future donations however that wasn’t the case.

At this point we are hoping to break even with the printing costs. If you are interested in grabbing a calendar the cost is now $5. Please reach out through Facebook to purchase or come by the Waterford Police Department, they will be available at the lobby window.

If you have a business and would be open to keeping a few on hand to distribute that would be great too.

Thank you all for your continued support of the Waterford Police Union Local 1948
